You include a picture of the wedding of Albert Edward (1841-1910) &amp; Princess Alexandra of Denmark (1844-1925) in 1863. (Albert Edward was to become King Edward VII). Given that you include it below the picture of Victoria, one might think they are one and the same. Just thought I would mention it for the readers of the blog.

I loved the lace detail at the top but the rest of the dress left me cold. I wonder if I missed something on my small tv as there was talk of a brocade trim that I couldn&#39;t see. I have to say, my favourite of the dresses is the current queen&#39;s. Diana&#39;s is just hideous but I suppose it wasn&#39;t at the time.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-40238113917509019422011-04-29T13:00:00.921-05:002011-04-29T13:00:00.921-05:00great post - I found your blog thru another - I en...great post - I found your blog thru another - I enjoyed the wedding immensely - I was there watching Diana and Charles on TV and would not have missed this for anything.

A great walk down memory lane of the British family.<br /><br />I have set the tivo and will watch the festivities after I go to have blood drawn (just routine) and sit with an English Crumpet. They carry them at the Publix store down here. I used to bring them back from Toronto and freeze them along with my tea bags and butter tarts and other things too numerous to mention. Love going home to stock up.<br /><br />Glad you had such a great visit with your Dad. He is looking good.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />FredaBFredaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000510495713705938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-1997913011124793562011-04-28T18:15:55.514-05:002011-04-28T18:15:55.514-05:00Oh Susan,

I am looking forward to reading what you have to say about the dress almost as much as I am to seeing that first glimps of it. I&#39;m thinking it will be elegant and modern, as Kate is, but will honour that tradition that you have shown us. Both Kate and William are into conservation and sustainablity, I think that will extend to trades and crafts as well as materials, so I am expecting to see a dress that supports these values.<br /><br />We have just been watching on the news the crowds gathered more than 12 hours before the wedding. There is a real party atmospher. How refreshing to have cheer and excitement on the news channels. In these troubled time, we are in need of more of that.
